A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    That is quite beautiful now, and I imagine it will be even more amazing when it has healed & scarred.

    Oh, wow! I like this a lot. It really flows with the shape of the torso.

    ( : That is beautiful. It’ll be really neat if the scar raises because with following the torso lines it would feel really neat. It’s so strangely sexual to me.

    I hate to say the same old thing, but it really is so gorgeous I had to express my appreciation. Very nice, and unique.

    Elegant and simple. I love it.

    Also, the small glimpse of that person’s midriff is quite the alluring sight too.

    It’s too bad the scar wont stay bloodred forever… the simplicity is really nice. I wonder where they got the idea from.

    I guess I wasn’t the only one who read that in Borat’s accent 😛

    I really liked this one, and I agree it’s a shame that it won’t stay bloodred forever. All scars should.
